Ahead of his Australian debut, Zaeden joins SBS Spice to talk about leaving DJing behind and taking Indian pop global. Tap the audio player to listen.

Zaeden was a DJ. Then he got personal. And now, he’s making his Australian debut at Vivid Sydney. He’s played Tomorrowland, opened for global heavyweights like Justin Bieber, Post Malone, and Maroon 5, and racked up over 500 million streams. But he’s since shifted toward something more grounded: Hindi pop that’s personal, polished, and proudly independent. He joins Dilpreet to talk about putting Indian pop on the global map, performing for South Asian Australian audiences, and why choosing to write in Hindi felt like a homecoming.
